You folks should read Prisoners of Geography. America ain’t goin anywhere no time soon.
Best stat on earth:
Air craft carriers
USA - 20
China - 2
Russia - 1
Many of our allies have four each.
Ok, I'm clearly missing something. I get these are not cheap to build, but what's stopping China from building them? They'll build a skyscraper in a month if you asked them to.
Also, why are these militarily not easy targets for the Air Force to take out or take control of? They don't move that fast.

China and Russia have very different military strategies from America. They will never be able to project into North America so they focus on local minor conquests. Chinas navy is essentially just built to protect their landgrabs in the south china sea and eventually to invade taiwan

It’s crazy if a country like India or China go into some sort of war they could mobilize like 50 million people and that’s only like 1/20th of the population

A Carrier group probably has more defensive capabilities than any US military base home or abroad.

And could you imagine a strike on a US carrier now days? That too, would jump about 8 steps and bring us straight to war.
I don't know why China doesn't have the carrier capabilities. It could be a money issue? But we've always churned them out like butter since WWII.
